My husband I stayed at Singel 96 for 3 nights on 13th March 2014. We had a fabulous time and can't recommend the accommodation highly enough. It was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The bed is extremely comfortable. Carolina is lovely and her customer service is excellent. The location is fabulous and very central for everything. There is also a lovely vintage shop called Tut and Hola a few steps away from the apartment where I spent far too much money! We had a wonderful time and if we can ever persuade my parents to babysit the kids again for us, we will definitely be back! If you stay at Singel 96, you won't be disappointed.

What an excellent stay. Situated on the beautiful Singel canal and very central so the nearby districts are all within walking distance allowing pleasant strolls throughout the city. The owner, Carolina was extremely helpful and hospitable giving very well informed advice about where to go, what to see. We particularly enjoyed the recommendation of the organic market on the Saturday morning. Fantastic spacious apartment. A stay at Singel 96 is highly recommended!!!!

We stayed at Singel 96 Sat - Tues in late Feb. The apartment is beautiful, stunning features and beautiful art. A fabulous location, perfect for long walks around canals and easy to find if you get a little lost!Would 100% recommend this gorgeous apartment, for couples or families - the bathroom is divine and kitchen comes with everything you need.Carolina is an amazing host, having been to Amsterdam before, we didn't need too much assistance, but some recommendations for local bars/ restaurants did come in very handy.Thank you again Carolina for an amazing weekend!

I stayed with my wife and a couple of friends and we all loved the place. Perfectly situated in a central location, spacious and very comfortable, it was all topped off by an extremely welcoming and friendly host.

Singel 96 is highly recommended and we'll be back when we visit Amsterdam again.

After deciding to forego hotels and look for rental apartments and houseboats we found Singel 96 Bed & Apartment (on Flipkey). This was the best decision of our trip last August. Singel 96 is a wonderful, cozy apartment on the Singel canal and very centrally located. It is within walking distance of the Central Station and around the corner from the Ann Frank house. The owner, Carolina, is very helpful and accommodating. She helped us printout online tickets to the Rijksmusuem and gave us several great restaurant recommendations in the area. See my review of Max Restaurant. Communication is quick and easy via text or e-mail. We stayed 2 nights with my 12 year old son (family of three) and the apartment was very comfortable. There is also an Albert Hein grocery store a few blocks away to stock up for breakfast. Carolina had a pod coffee machine and an espresso maker available as well. Near the Jordaan neighborhood and close to tram lines. I would recommend trying Singel 96 instead of a hotel any time.

Hi Eric, thanks a lot for your great review! It was a pleasure having you and your lovely family staying with us! I do hope to see you back someday! Warmest regards, Carolina

Carolina made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived after a short stroll from the station. The apartment was spacious, yet cosy. It was really well equipped. Its in the basement of a typically tall and pretty Amsterdam house and you open the front door with a view of the canal and other equally enticing looking houses. We won't be hotel-ing it again next time we come. Staying in an apartment was far more fun, and importantly, value for money.
